1 NetFlow identifies packet flows for ingress IP packets and provides statistics based on these packet flows. NetFlow does not require any change to either the packets themselves or to any networking device.

A flow is a unidirectional stream of packets that arrives on a source interface (or VLAN) and has the same values for the keys. A key is an identified value for a field within the packet. You create a flow using a flow record to define the unique keys for your flow. Cisco NX-OS supports both Traditional Netflow and Flexible NetFlow. With Traditional NetFlow all of the keys and fields that are exported must be fixed. Traditional Netflow supports IPv4 flows only. You can choose which keys you want to use to define the flow. Each unique flow is cached and some statistics are collected for the flow. Flexible NetFlow enables enhanced network anomalies and security detection. Flexible NetFlow allows you to define an optimal flow record for a particular application by selecting the keys from a large collection of predefined fields. 1
2 Flow Record All key values must match for the packet to count in a given flow. A flow might gather other fields of interest, depending on the export record version that you configure. Flows are stored in the NetFlow cache. The flow record determines the type of data to be collected for a flow. The flow monitor combines the flow record and flow exporter with the NetFlow cache information. Cisco NX-OS gathers NetFlow statistics in sampled mode. This means that packets on the interface or subinterface are analyzed at the configured rate. Flow Record Flow Exporter A flow record defines the keys that NetFlow uses to identify packets in the flow as well as other fields of interest that NetFlow gathers for the flow. You can define a flow record with any combination of keys and fields of interest. Cisco NX-OS supports a rich set of keys. A flow record also defines the types of counters gathered per flow. You can configure 32-bit or 64-bit packet or byte counters. The key fields are specified with the match keyword. The fields of interest and counters are specified under the match keyword. Cisco NX-OS enables the following match fields as the defaults when you create a flow record: match interface input match interface output match flow direction A flow exporter contains network layer and transport layer details for the NetFlow export packet. You can configure the following information in a flow exporter: Export destination IPv4 or IPv6 address Source interface UDP port number (where the collector is listening for NetFlow packets) Export format Note NetFlow export packets use the IP address that is assigned to the source interface. If the source interface does not have an IP address assigned to it, the flow exporter will be inactive. Cisco NX-OS exports data to the remote collector, using UDP frames, whenever a timeout occurs. By default, the flow timeout value is set to 15 seconds. NetFlow Match Keys To identify a flow you can choose one or more match keys as part of the flow record. NetFlow supports the following match keys to identify flows: IPv4 source and IPv4 destination addresses 2
3 Specifying the Match Parameters IPv6 source and IPv6 destination addresses IPv6 flow label IPv6 options TOS field Layer 4 protocol Layer 4 source and destination ports The following match keys are provided for Layer 2 NetFlow: MAC source and destination addresses Ethertype VLAN Specifying the Match Parameters You must configure at least one of the following match parameters for flow records: Command match ip {protocol tos} switch(config-flow-record)# match ip protocol match ipv4 {destination address source address} switch(config-flow-record)# match ipv4 destination address match ipv6 {destination address source address flow-label opitons } switch(config-flow-record)# match ipv6 flow label Specifies the IP protocol or ToS fields as keys Note The match transport destination-port and the match ip protocol commands are required to export Layer 4 port data. The data is collected and displayed in the output of the show hardware flow ip command but is not collected and exported until you configure both commands. Specifies the IPv4 source or destination address as a key. Specifies the IPv6 key. 3
4 NetFlow Collect Parameters Command match transport {destination-port source-port} switch(config-flow-record)# match transport destination-port match datalink {mac source-address mac destination-address ethertype vlan} switch(config-flow-record)# match datalink ethertype Specifies the transport source or destination port as a key. Note The match transport destination-port and the match ip protocol commands are required to export Layer 4 port data. The data is collected and displayed in the output of the show hardware flow ip command but is not collected and exported until you configure both commands. Specifies the Layer 2 attribute as a key. NetFlow Collect Parameters NetFlow can collect the following parameters, and export the values in either version 5 (traditional NetFlow) or version 9 (flexible NetFlow) format. Note Some of these fields might not be available in traditional NetFlow format. Number of Layer 3 bytes (in 64 bit values optionally) Number of packets (in 64 bit values optionally) Flow direction Flow sampler ID Interface type (input, output or both) System up time for the first or the last packet TCP flags Specifying the Collect Parameters You must configure at least one of the following collect parameters for flow records: 4
5 Sampled NetFlow Command collect counter {bytes packets} [long] switch(config-flow-record)# switch(config-flow-record)# collect counter packets Collects either packet-based or byte counters from the flow. You can optionally specify that 64-bit counters are used. collect flow sampler id switch(config-flow-record)# collect flow sampler collect timestamp sys-uptime {first last} switch(config-flow-record)# collect timestamp sys-uptime last collect transport tcp flags switch(config-flow-record)# collect transport tcp flags collect ip version switch(config-flow-record)# collect ip version Collects the sampler identifier used for the flow. Collects the system up time for the first or last packet in the flow. Collects the TCP transport layer flags for the packets in the flow. Collects the IP version for the flow. Sampled NetFlow Cisco NX-OS supports sampled NetFlow. This feature samples incoming packets on an interface. The packets sampled then qualify to create flows. Sampled NetFlow reduces the amount of export data sent to the collector by limiting the number of packets that create flows and the number of flows. It is essential when flows are created on a line card or external device, instead of on the forwarding engine. The sampling mode supported is M out of N (M:N), where M packets are selected randomly out of every N packets for sampling, and only those packets can create flows. The lowest possible sampling rate on the Cisco Nexus 6000 series is 1:64K packets. The following table shows the different packet rates for different port types when the sampling rate is set to 1:64K packets: Port Speed 1 Gigabit 10 Gigabit 40 Gigabit Number of packets using a 1:64K sampled packet rate
6 Guidelines and Limitations for NetFlow Note The values in the above table apply to 64 Byte sized packets. The values are different for different size of packets. Guidelines and Limitations for NetFlow NetFlow has the following configuration guidelines and limitations: In sampler mode using M:N, N must be a power of 2. For example 1024, 2048, or You must configure a source interface. If you do not configure a source interface, the flow exporter will remain in a disabled state. If you configure both NetFlow and SPAN on the same interface then only the SPAN configuration is applied and the NetFlow configuration is ignored. You must configure a valid record name for every flow monitor. The maximum number of supported NetFlow entries is 512,000. You cannot change the fields in a record that is applied on the monitor You cannot change the sampling mode value on a sampler that is applied on the monitor If NetFlow is configured on both SVI and a VLAN then only the routed packets are updated on the SVI NetFlow. NetFlow can cause high CPU loads, to prevent issues with the control plane the following limitations apply: NetFlow can be configured in the Ingress direction only NetFlow packets that reach the CPU are not policed by the ASIC Ingress layer 2 NetFlow is supported on the following types of interfaces: Layer 2 switch interface/port channel FEX interface Ingress layer 3 NetFlow is supported on the following types of interfaces: Layer 3 interface/port channel Layer 3 sub-interface/port channel sub-interface SVI Ingress bridged NetFlow is supported on VLANs. How to Configure NetFlow To configure NetFlow on a switch you perform the following steps: 6
